This bike is an absolute blast to ride, I hope you'll love it! I'm running the Dominator HP8 slip-on with the dB killer in. I slightly shortened the dB killer to get the sound how I wanted it
@@bikepipes honestly can’t wait after hearing and watching the videos of the bike and friends that own them and love it. Will definitely get that slip on it sounds soooo good
Couple of things other than the price: - I prefer the non-R position. I am 6'2 (1.87cm) and I feel a bit more cramped on the R due to the rear foot sets and the flatter handle bar. I am more comfortable on the non-R. - the suspensions/brakes on the R are top notch but I use my bike to go to work everyday (on top of weekend rides) and for me the R suspensions are a bit too firm and the brakes a tad too aggressive. To be honest I was worried the suspensions of the non-R wouldn't be great (especially since they're not adjustable and I'm 90kg) but they've been doing a fantastic job so far, whether the bike is ridden hard or just commuting to work. To me the R is a weapon when it comes to fast riding but the non-R is just a great all-rounder that is both comfortable and very quick on twisties. Hope that helps!
@@bikepipesHey, how comfortable is your knee angle on the bike? I am 188cm with a 88cm inseam and am wondering if this bike is still comfortable enough for me. Also for longer ride outs how is your experience? Did you also test other bikes before deciding for this one? Do you maybe also have experience on a street triple or z900 as I am choosing between those bikes. Best regards! :)
@@DaveDBD Hey Dave, I am 187cm (not too sure about inseam though) and I am comfortable, obvisouly the legs are somewhat bent compared to an adventure bike for example but I have never had any pain or discomfort resulting from it. Earlier this year I took the bike on a 4-day / 1600km trip in the Alps and I was not expecting it to perform so well, even comfort wise. I have tested a 675 Street triple and although both bikes have great chassis/suspensions/brakes, the engine is day and night depending on what you want. The street triple is smooth and refined, lacks a bit of low end but becomes very lively once you let her rev, the KTM on the other hand is much more brutal, it pulls hard from down low and keep doing so all the way up to the limiter, it is quite impressive. Although I am sure a 765 street triple and a 890 Duke would have similar acceleration, the KTM feels more powerful thanks to the torque. KTM's engines are quite something, if you get the chance to compare it to a Street or a z900 I am sure you will understand what I mean. Hope that helps, let me know if you have other questions! Cheers ✌
Does this bike go from 3th gear on wheelie ? Now I'm driving CBR1000RR and it goes from 1,2,3th gear easly on wheelie without using clutch, but I need more comfortable bike and I'm thinking about 890R.
I am no wheelie expert at all, but I'm pretty sure that seating further back and pulling on the handlebar could get the front wheel up without clutch in 3rd, I've never tried though. In 2nd gear it wheelies very very easily just using the throttle
@@ibratasp03 I've poppin some power wheelies lately and with the 890 + a 15 tooth sprocket I can do it in 3rd by pulling on the bars while smashing the throttle
@@hirku3336 oh yeah you're right I hadn't even noticed. 99% chances it is a kit car, there are so few "real ones" left and they're worth so much that they're not even driven. Good catch though 👌
Definitely a nice sounding bike!
Absolutely! 👌
wonderful bike on equally wonderful road, i envy you having such a great time.
Dude it's a pleasure watching you ride. Thumbs up.
Thanks a lot mate I really appreciate it! ✌️
Sounds awesome!
Thanks a lot!
that's wild
Best sound！！
@BikePipes Which phone mount are you using?
@@callumwatkin2190 a basic one from Amazon, I can't remember which one exactly but nothing fancy
serious skills
Thanks a lot mate ✌️
I’m about to buy one of these and can’t wait! What exhaust have you got on that it sounds awesome

Stock sproket is 16??

Hey mate, great work! Where did you put your microphone for a crisp sound like that?
Thanks a lot mate! I put the mic in a fanny pack that I wear in my back, works like a charm
Nice sounding pipe! Not even stressing the 890 around curves. A bit weavy wavy you are! But fun video!
Thanks mate!
Hi nice video! Gopro? Setting and position?? :) Thanks
Thank you!

thank you for the answer!@@bikepipes
What the tires ?
Continental Contiroad, well happy with these!
@@bikepipes okay thx u !
How come you went for the GP over the R…….bouncing between buying either at the moment.
